Ahead of his sixth professional fight, to be held on the card of fellow Hunter boxer Blake Minto’s fight at Wests City Newcastle on Saturday, the Cessnock slugger says he has never felt in better shape. 

O’Meley will look to keep his unbeaten 6-0 record alive, with his eyes already on the opportunities that would come with a win. 

“That’d put me in the running for a NSW title,” he said of a win. 

“But at the moment I’m just really focused on my training and the fight.” 

O’Meley’s last fight was in January, when he claimed a points decision against Central Coast fighter Dillon Bargero in his toughest fight to date. 

Under the tutelage of former Danny Green coach David Birchell, O’Meley says the tough period of training has him primed for a big performance. 

O’Meley’s preparation over the previous few months have included sparring with Anthony Mundine, who had big raps on the 25-year-old 

“I’m pretty confident in my abilities, I’ve been training really well and sparring some pretty good boxers,” he said. 

“I just want to treat every fight like a world title and put my best foot forward.”

The super welterweight won’t have to look far for support. 

O’Meley said he was excited to fight in Newcastle, with a host of family and friends from around the Hunter not required to travel far to see him take to the ring. 

“I’m just focused on putting on a good show for them,” he said. 

“I’ve got a lot of friends around Newcastle and Cessnock.

“I’m pretty excited about it.” 

O’Meley graduated into the professional ranks in September last year, after an illustrious amateur career which included more than 120 fights for more than 100 wins. 

He wasted no time making an impression, launching into a near-monthly schedule of pro bouts, which yielded two knockout wins out of his five matches. 

The fight this weekend comes amid a flurry of activity for Hunter boxers. 

Toronto boxer Blake Minto will fight on the main event against seasoned pro and former world title holder Sergio Gonzales from Argentina for a world title.

Minto’s fellow Ben Crampton-trained boxer, 13-year-old Zach Fitzpatrick, won the interstate junior 41kg championship after a hard fought match in Queensland earlier this week.

And on the weekend Telarah boxer Tyson “Golden Boy” Lantry claimed the NSW light weight title after a unanimous points win over Australian number eight Isaaka Issah.
